Requirements for Degree Plans
School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The applicable Degree Requirement Sheets are an integral part of this document.
INTRODUCTION
This document provides enrollment guidance for all students in the School of Electrical and Computer
Engineering (ECE) on Degree Plans for the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and for the B.S. degree
in Computer Engineering. This document is intended to correspond to degree requirements included on
the official Degree Requirement Sheet for Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering as they exist
in 2014.
ELECTIVE CHOICES and AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION
Students in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering pursuing the B.S. degree in Electrical
Engineering are required to declare an Area of Specialization (AoS) prior to entering their junior year
(generally, prior to or at the time of admission to Professional School). The AoS is an advising
mechanism that assists students in choosing a reasonable and coordinated set of electives in order to
achieve both breadth and depth in the curriculum. Regular advisement from a faculty member in the
chosen area is an important part of this process.
Students pursuing the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering are expected to follow the curriculum
requirements specified for that degree. Regular advisement from a faculty member in Computer
Engineering is an important part of this process.
The Electrical Engineering AoS and the Computer Engineering curriculum help students achieve a
comprehensive education in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering that is aligned with their
interests and career objectives. Each student develops a plan of study in consultation with an ECE faculty
member. The AoS is not intended to “lock” a student into a particular set of elective choices – students
are encouraged to discuss their particular career objectives and course choices with a faculty member. If
an exception is deemed appropriate, permission may be sought from the department head for each
requested alternate course.

Degree requirements are specified in the Degree Requirement Sheet valid for each student. The
applicable Degree Requirement Sheet is normally the one that was in effect when the student enrolled
for the first time (usually as a freshman). The AoS requirements are designed to meet the specific
curriculum requirements set by the corresponding Degree Requirement Sheet. In any case where a
conflict occurs, the applicable Degree Requirement Sheet will prevail.
This document applies specifically to the ECE Degree Requirement Sheets in effect in 2014. In general,
this document only addresses requirements listed under Specific Professional School Requirements
and Controlled Electives on the Degree Requirement Sheet. The student is expected to meet all
requirements listed on their corresponding Degree Requirement Sheet.
Prior to enrolling for the junior year, all ECE students should either select an Area of Specialization
within the requirements for the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering or they should select the B.S.
degree in Computer Engineering. This decision helps determine particular curriculum choices for each
student.
The particular requirements for each Electrical Engineering Area of Specialization currently in effect are
included in this document. These include
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Communications, Controls, and Signal Processing
Electromagnetics and Photonics
Power and Energy
Electronics and Solid State
Computers and Digital
Also included are the particular requirements for the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering.
All B.S. Electrical Engineering students (not B.S. Computer Engineering) are required to take the
following ECEN-prefix courses: ECEN 2011, ECEN/ENSC 3213, ECEN 3233, ECEN 3314, ECEN 3513, ECEN
3714, ECEN 4013, ECEN 4024, and ECEN 4503, as well as other requirements specified in their AoS and
the B.S. Electrical Engineering Degree Requirement Sheet. A total of 125 semester hours is required.
All students in the B.S. Computer Engineering program are required to take the following ECEN-prefix
courses: ECEN 2011, ECEN/ENSC 3213, ECEN 3233, ECEN 3314, ECEN 3513, ECEN 3613, ECEN 3714, ECEN
4013, ECEN 4024, ECEN 4213, ECEN 4243, ECEN 4303, and ECEN 4503, as well as other requirements
specified in the B.S. Computer Engineering Degree Requirement Sheet. A total of 126 semester hours is
required.
Additional requirements for all B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering Areas of Specialization and the
B.S. degree in Computer Engineering must be chosen in consultation with and approved by an area
faculty member. All requirements specified on the corresponding Degree Requirement Sheet must be
met in order to complete the degree. Please consult with Ms. Helen Daggs, [email protected],
Areas of Specialization: 2014
Page 2
in 202 ES (Stillwater campus) or Mr. Ron Knight, [email protected], in 130 NH (Tulsa campus)
regarding specific requirements and clearance for graduation. Course Alternates and Exceptions
appropriate for a student’s career objectives must be approved by the Department Head in addition
to an area faculty member.
There are flow charts available corresponding to these AoS requirements and the current Degree
Requirement Sheets for both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. When using the flow
charts please keep in mind that although they are designed to correspond to the current Degree
Requirement Sheets they are also just an advising instrument and what is best for a given student will
depend on his/her specific circumstances. In any case, where the flow charts conflict with the Degree
Requirement Sheets or requirements specified in the University Catalog the latter will always prevail.
The following pages describe the current specific requirements for the various Areas of Specialization
within the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering. Faculty
members in each area are listed. Full instructions for enrolling under your chosen AoS are given on the
department web site. Additional procedural assistance is available from Ms. Daggs or Mr. Knight.
